do u ever think about mobius saying he will burn the tva to the ground yet he goes back and tries to save it. instead of destroying it he holds it together. because destruction is not in his nature, construction is.

(to know more about the story and the calendar on pre-order check out previous posts!)

July is Lance's birthday and they all take him to the sea just to frolic around. They end up doing way too many tricks in the waves and rolling through the sand. When everyone else is busy figuring out if they should wait until sundown to roll out or go back now, Keith and Lance sit by the waves, talking. That’s when Keith takes out a ring. He tells Lance can take it without promising anything, he just thought that for Lance's birthday Keith can offer him being there for him, giving him whatever he needs - and he could keep the ring to remember him by, to be sure he is always accepted and protected by him, that they are each other’s. To make it even less pressuring, it’s not a shiny cute engagement ring, but just a simple one, like promise rings should be. Lance is so touched and surprised, he lacks words and just bulldozes Keith into sand.

"Is it a yes?!" yells Shiro from the sidelines and Keith just "okays" from the ground, before grappling around with Lance.

There is both a dog whistle and a disappointed awwing at their PDA, but their companions just mostly laugh it off. Allura still watches them, shielding her eyes from the sun, before murmuring “they always remind me of the sexual tension between me and an oncoming train.”

Everyone bursts out laughing.

I think what we can gather from this gritho team up (finally) is that they are essentially efficient and coordinated chaos

ITS CLIVAAAAAA

Honestly of the shipping pieces I've made, I'm the most proud of this one. I dunno why I just feel like I popped off with it. I'm most proud of the pose, definitely one of more dynamic ones I've attempted

The super hyperactive bubbly girl with the down to Earth nerdy boy has always been a favorite shipping dynamic of mine so when I saw these two it just hit me like a TRUCK.

Them Brozone bois scorin' royalty. You know Clay and Branch are relaxing in the morning with their coffee, watching Viva and Poppy talk a million miles a minute about friendship bracelets or something with those doofy love sick grins on their faces.

Gave Viva a buncha scars cuz she definitely has had some tussles both during and after the escaoe. Also gave her the droopy ears that Branch and Floyd have that Trolls who've gone gray have. Cuz you can't tell me this girl lost her family and entire kingdom and DIDNT go gray for at least a little bit.

Viva loves taking running starts at Clay and leaping into his arms. It's the "he'll catch me no matter what" meme. Clay as lost many cups of coffee and or tea to catching her.

I loves drawing their hair. Floofy babies

P. S. Ignore the amount of different signs, it just that i have different signatures for different art accounts on different platforms, confusing i know, i think ill have to unite them sometime soon.

[goldenachilles]

in my head, Tashi and Art talk it out, go to a couple dozen sessions of therapy and finally, finally realise that the next step is to invite Patrick into whatever is going with them

(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)

The main details I'm figuring out right now are

does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line

how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random

where and how does Turgon die

how does Prince Elrond's character even work

how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

do you think that what the doctor usually feels for companions, rather than romantic or sexual attraction, might just be idolisation?

[skunkes]

another thing i love about dungeon meshi along with how theres adequate time given to every character that matters! Is that like. Along with no "every single character in supporting cast gets put on the backburner in favor of MC / other character development" is that theres also no "god these characters are all so boring except that one guy who is tragic and compelling" bc they all have the same capacity for compelling tragedy (and such).

And it also doesn't feel like when ppl tack on as much Bad Things onto a characters life just to emphasize tragedy or hardship... Theres a good balance in each of em. The recent leaked izutsumi dark lore implication drop wasn't even in the main story and it doesnt feel like that quirky "i love torturing my ocs! 🤪🤪🤪🤪 (Literally just throwing everything into one pot)" sentiment i see here often if that makes sense. It doesn't feel Edgy ykwim

[reigningmax]

The "Daniel is only hyped cause he laughs and smiles a lot" is genuinely the worst take you can have about this lmao.

Daniel Ricciardo is, along with Lewis, THE most recognizable face and name in motorsport outside of the F1 fans bubble. Therefore, he is extremely valuable in terms of marketability. He is also an 8-time race winner. For that to be dismissed and to say he's average as if the past 2 years erased all his accomplishments is insane lmao.

Being an accomplished driver AND one of the most marketable athletes in your sport makes you valuable as fuck.

[quirinah]

i! ro! ha! (six years edition)

[spacedlexi]

violentine literally has everything. tension to friends to lovers. i wall myself off from people to keep myself safe but theres something about you. we understand each other. going against your group to stand up for this person and what you believe is right. "i saw that you were in danger and i just acted without thinking". battle team. co leaders. "ive lost so many people and i cant lose you too i wont". struggling single parent finding someone who supports her And her kid. not-so-ex-girlfriend one of the main villains. go to war together. captured together. escape together but lost in the chaos and later reuniting. twice. fighting ex together. twice. making it back (mostly) safe and sound and building a real home worth fighting for together

BUT theyre in a choice game so you can also have: betrayal. manipulated by not-so-ex-girlfriend in a moment of severe weakness into agreeing with the wrong side. fighting against each other (and later apologizing). severe injury? DEATH?? no matter what a sacrifice is Made???

[somebluemelodies]

sure it’s really silly goofy (and kinda awesome) that q!Roier can absolutely kick q!Cellbit’s ass at PvP but all i can think about is how well spiderbit balances each other out

q!Roier definitely has the upper-hand physically without even needing to go tryhard-mode. and then when he DOES go tryhard-mode… phew (i think a lot about him in the dungeon when they rescued q!Cellbit and q!Felps). i love that q!Cellbit is so insistent on protecting him and it really is sweet but like sir, if anything, your husband is probably gonna be the one protecting you </3

but what q!Cellbit “lacks” in physical strength, at least in comparison to q!Roier, the intelligence??? the man literally figured out broken windows were BRAILLE. he’s one of the smartest people on the island. q!Roier doesn’t do enigmas and shit like that; he helps his husband when asked and goes along for the ride. we’ve all seen him and Richas goofing off while q!Cellbit stresses the fuck out LMAO

BUT THATS WHAT MAKES THEM SO GOOD!! and i’m not saying that q!Cellbit isn’t strong or can’t fight bc i think he can hold his own when he truly tries (he just hasn’t had to fight to survive in a long time). and q!Roier sure as hell isn’t dumb either. hell, he’s probably the most emotionally intelligent person on the island. and i will die on that hill

all that to say, spiderbit balances each other out. they look out for each other. and that’s why i love them so much <3
